The Performa 475 is MUCH faster, but requires a real 68040 with real FPU
since FPU emulation is broken (unless you want every other process to core
dump...).

If you're handy with a soldering iron, a battery clip for two AAA will do
in place of the PRAM battery, and a 20 MHz oscillator and some heat sink
compound will get it running at 40 MHz.

Nice machines... Let me know if you want details about running it at 40
MHz.
